'The Hours' by Michael Cunningham

Pulitzer prize winner. I am starting to see the value in the stamp on the front. The writing was poetic and I enjoyed the story lines. Cunningham has a way of putting into words they thoughts we all have but fear verbalizing. This story intertwined the lives of a good number of women, all of which were lesbians I'm pretty sure, as they fight the malaise of life. The number one reason for reading this, apart from the beautiful writing, is the way Cunningham makes you feel like one of the world, like your thoughts are not unique.

I'm not really here by Tim Allen

This ended up being a comedian's effort to put very complicated physics into 'people speak'. I like Tim Allen's writing style and the book was interested and lighthearted for the most part. It didn't completely feel like it had a purpose as much as it was a chance to make a little money and expound on a few things going on in his life. He spoke of the physics dilemma as part of his mid-life crisis and, although, he seemed to find closure in the final pages, it was rather contrived. I fair attempt at making physics readable.
